Advice for Prospective Candidates

Guidance for applicants

Candidates are selected for interview by a Selection Panel who undertake a shortlisting process matching applicants against the job description and person specification. The Selection Panel is only able to base their decision regarding your suitability on the information provided in your application form.

To ensure that the Selection Panel is able to make an informed decision about inviting you to interview, please ensure that your application provides a complete picture of you, your ability to undertake the role and suitability for the post.

When completing your application form, consider the Job Description and Person Specification as they contain information about the qualifications, experience and “type” of person we are seeking to appoint.

Applicants are invited to demonstrate how they meet the requirements of the advertised position, by detailing all relevant qualifications, knowledge, experience and skills. It is important to use this opportunity to illustrate and evidence how you meet the criteria, rather than just listing or confirming without further explanation.

Please note application forms are always required, we are unable to accept CVs in place of an application form as the same level of information is required from all candidates. The preferred method of application is online through Dorset County Council’s jobs page jobs.dorsetforyou.gov.uk Paper application forms are available on request from the school office.

We appreciate the time and commitment involved in preparing an application for employment and want your experience of applying to work within our Federation to be a positive one.

This school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

The successful candidate will be required to undergo an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check (previously CRB) in line with the Government’s safer recruitment guidelines.

Wyke Regis Primary Federation values the diversity of our workforce and welcomes applications from all sections of the community.
